San Jose, CA Dentist, Dr. Les M. Wong Now Offers a Less Invasive Gum Graft Alternative to Treat Receding Gums
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) December 16, 2014 -- Dr. Les M. Wong is pleased to announce that patients who are searching for a dentist in San Jose, CA who is qualified to perform PST™ for the treatment of receding gums, can now schedule an appointment with his dental practice. Dr. John Chao initially invented PST™ as an alternative to gum grafting procedures, and Dr. Wong now provides the procedure at his office. Patients who receive PST™ do not need to worry about the discomfort and lengthy treatment times associated with traditional gum recession treatment options.
Gum recession is one of the most common ailments faced by Americans today. It can be caused by a number of factors, including gum disease, malpositioned teeth, genetic predisposition, oral habits, oral piercings, and improper tooth brushing. Gum recession can make a person feel very self-conscious because a large portion of their teeth is exposed when they talk or smile. Receding gums can also be very uncomfortable if they cause the roots of the teeth to become exposed. Once the gums have receded, they cannot naturally return to their pre-receded state, which is why many patients seek treatment.
Patients who are searching for a dentist in San Jose, CA who can treat gum recession without traditional gum grafting procedures are invited to schedule a consultation with Dr. Wong. With the help of a simple and effective treatment procedure called PST™, Dr. Wong can minimize signs of gum recession by manually moving the gums down over the teeth. He does this by inserting a small tool into the gums through a pinpoint hole, then maneuvering the tool gently back and forth to release the gums from the tooth surface and reposition them downward. The entire procedure is minimally invasive and requires no scalpels or sutures.
Patients who receive PST™ do not need to worry about excessive bleeding or other complications that are associated with gum grafting procedures. They also do not have the discomfort and unattractiveness of sutures along their gums. All patients who are searching for a dentist in San Jose, CA who can treat their receding gums with PST™ are encouraged to schedule a consultation with Dr. Wong.
